Today a young man on acid realized that we are merely energy condensed to a slow vibration. That we are one conciousness experiencing its self subjectively. Life is but a dream and we are the imagination of ourselves.
Here's Tom with the weather...


It's not a "War On Drugs", it's a war on personal freedom.

Great update KP, however, I just have question that you didn't state.

Is the plural of Mongoose, "Mongeese?" or "Mongooses?"


Maybe it's "Mongi?" LOL...hehe Hmong Guy lol

I'm sure KP said something about Mongi being the plural at an earlier date. Something about what the official term (dictionary) is and how it's no way as good as "mongi" (as that sounds like being wasted on my favourite drug, I'm willing to go with that one)

I also noticed all the different numbers, rather strange - not sure it means different types as there is no weapon so why have different models. Why do I think they had three different numbers? To pee pee off fan boys like us and make us bicker and complain that they never proof read their articles!! (There was at least one other place where the grammer didn't make sense!)

Can't wait to drive this thing, but I bet the leave it out of the beta just to pee pee us all right off! (And make us go and pre-order Halo 3, like we weren't going to already!!)

I really hope that one day I will get to see an Xbox 360 monthly sales graph when the beta hits copies of Crackdown. I reckon sales will at LEAST double for the month, maybe even the quarter. Bungie sells consoles man, believe.
(PGR3 + Full F1 Circuit + Ferrari F50GT sold me and my mate half the 360 each!! Oh, and of course the knowledge that Halo 3 would come out, eventually.)

The Mongoose seems to have slow acceleration based upon the article. 0-30 in 3 seconds? And that's only half it's max speed.

Probably for gameplay balance. Though, not too unrealistic since the ORV has to combat terrain which slows it significantly.

Sounds like a lot of slop in the article....ha

From Bungie's own words...

Slop is military slang for Nanoreagent Hydrocarbots - a suspension of nanomachines that renders nearly all carbon heavy matter into usable fuel for the UNSC's ubiquitous internal combustion powerplants.

Very good article.....Thanks KPaul

Bungie, I sure hope this isn't how the mongoose is going to look in Halo 3 (graphic-wise). I'm very disapointed in the mongoose as of right now. It looks boring with almost no range of value or color. I'm not asking for a rainbow, but the whole thing is litterly one color. The graphics, I'd expect better for Halo 3.

I can hardly wait to drive that thing and go off huge jumps! Almost like the Ghost except no extremely visible boost

Ahhh,

The grass bugs me... It's still flat... :(

About the Mongoose, I can't wait to jump onto one (and most likely get creamed right after I get going no doubt). Ah, yes... I look forward to having fond memories.
